Bias in the Courtroom: The Hidden Struggles of Women Lawyers
Behind every legal victory lies a hidden war. In this episode, Michele Anderson—incoming president of the California Women Lawyers Association—joins Bernie Brown to expose the deeply ingrained biases women face in the courtroom. From being mistaken for court reporters to being silenced for showing emotion, Michele shares personal experiences and systemic statistics that reveal just how far we still have to go. Only 39.5% of lawyers are women. Only 2% are Black women in California. The numbers don’t lie. But this episode isn’t just about injustice—it’s about change. Learn what CWL is doing through legislation, advocacy, and leadership to rewrite the legal narrative for women and girls.
